Installation and Configuration

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking A Rack System

WARNING: The weight of your system without the physical disks installed (empty weight) is 19.50 kg (43.0 lb) and

when fully populated with all the physical disks is 105.20 kg (232.0 lb).

WARNING: Your system must be installed by Dell certified service technicians. For safe installation of an empty

system, a minimum of three service technicians are required. To install a fully populated system, a mechanized

lifting tool is required to position the system in a rack.

WARNING: Install the physical disks into the system only after installing the system in the rack. Installing the

system in the rack with the physical disks installed can damage the disks or cause injury.

CAUTION: Before installing your system in the rack, ensure that the weight of the system does not exceed the

rack's weight limit. For more information, see the Rack Installation Instructions that shipped with your system.

NOTE: For weight stability, always load the rack from the bottom up.

Figure 1. Installing the System in a Rack

Unpack your system and identify each item.

Assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety instructions and the rack installation

instructions provided with your system.

Opening And Closing The Disk Drawer

Figure 2. Opening and Closing the Disk Drawer

Open the disk drawer to install or remove the physical disk carrier(s).

NOTE: You can open only one disk drawer at a time. Forcing to open more than one drawer at a time may damage

the assembly or produce unexpected results.

Installing The Physical Disks

Figure 3. Installing the Physical Disk(s)

Install physical disk(s) in the disk drawer.

NOTE: You may receive multiple drives with carriers in separate boxes. Drives need to be installed in the same

enclosure.

NOTE: Each disk drawer must have a minimum of four physical disks installed starting from slots 0, 3, 6, and 9.

Always install the physical disks starting from the front row of each drawer.

NOTE: Ensure all drawers are firmly closed using the handles.

Connecting The Power Cable(s)

Figure 4. Connecting the Power Cable(s)

Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

Securing The Power Cable(s)

Figure 5. Securing the Power Cable(s)

Open the cable retention bracket by pulling the tabs on its sides, insert the cable, and secure the system power cable,

as shown in the illustration.

Plug the other end of the power cable(s) into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an

uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).

Turning On The System

Figure 6. Turning on the System

Turn the power switch on the back of the system to the On position. The power LED will turn on.

Installing The Bezel

Figure 7. Installing the Bezel

Install the bezel as shown in the figure.
